Spread A Little Happiness - Arthur Rosebery and his Kit Cat Dance Band

Arthur Rosbery's records are eagerly sought by discerning collector's. Hardly surprising as many contain vibrant arrangements.
Here is the very popular "Spread a little happiness" , composed by Vivian Ellis. A less well known tune by the same composer will also be featured in this upload.
Vocal chorus by Len Lees. Recorded 1st March 1929.

At last some an Arthur Rosebery record.Very fine band.Great arrangements.l think this would sound better on an electric player as the bass is lost.But many thanks for posting a terrific band

I always prefer to hear the music as it was originally played. This de luxe Columbia portable captures the period charm.

I have the same Columbia portable, and boy it sure is a wonderful machine!

[jackpaynefan]

I have just looked at your gramophone and it looks like new. It is the best portable model and gives a great tone to the record. Thank you for your comment.

I'm afraid I find this version far too fast.

[SwingBandHeaven]

This version is much better than that done by the New Mayfair D.O. which is the version I have (together with the Binnie Hale version). This much more up tempo than both those. Thanks for posting this - I really enjoyed listening to this version.

Charmingly presented and what a jolly tune * thanks for posting !!

* This is now familiar to most modern viewers from Sting's rendition fromthe Brimstone and Treacle soundtrack!
